*Due to an internet drop, the recording goes silent from 57:45 - 58:05. In that portion. Allen argues from medieval texts from 400-600CE ie. Xiao Ping Fang (Minor Formulary) and Sun Simiao's texts, that although categorization of formulae based on the five phases does appear, they do not much provide a diagnosis and treament methodology based on five phases interaction.


Since its publication in 1988, the Fu Xingjue or “Rhymes to Assist One’s Cultivation” has come to be seen by many as an indispensable text for understanding and gaining insight into the theoretical and pharmacological basis of the Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases (Shanghan Zabing Lun). Two of the top Chinese medical scholars in China, Ma Jixing and Qian Chaochen, both confirmed the authenticity of the book and the jingfang master and student of Hu Xishu, Feng Shilun, also wrote a whole treatise on the book and considers it a very important part of jingfang study. Abroad, Fu Xingjue theory also figures very prominently in certain important jingfang schools and lineages.

Proponents of the book believe that it was likely written or “compiled” by Tao Hongjing, a 6th century physician polymath based on the Tangye Jingfa, the book many believe to be one of the key resources Zhang Zhongjing used to write the Shanghan Zabing Lun.

Yet despite all the fanfare surrounding the Fu Xingjue, there is still a substantial amount of controversy concerning the authenticity of the book in scholarly and clinical circles in China and abroad. For one, the origins of the book are sketchy to say the least: In the 1970s, a barefoot doctor named Zhang Dachang presented two “versions” of the Fu Xingjue to the China Chinese Medical Research Academy. He claimed the real version had been destroyed during the cultural revolution, but that he had done his best to write it down from memory and also included a handwritten copy made by one of his disciples. The original version, he claims, came from his grandfather, who had bought it from a Daoist monk that had somehow mysteriously obtained the book from an excavation site in the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, where many important manuscripts were recovered in the early 20th century.

Apart from it’s questionable origins, there is another glaring issue with the Fu Xingjue: the theory and language used in the manuscript match far closer to 11th century and beyond language and theory then to anything from the 1st to 5th centuries. These inconsistencies have led many scholars in China and abroad to call the legitimacy of the text into question.

In this podcast, the physician, translator, scholar and historian Allen Tsaur guides us through the evidence and spins a tale of textual transmission spanning centuries and millennia. Tsaur shows us how to question these origin stories and provides a convincing and thorough argument that would date the Fu Xingjue much later than most proponents currently claim. Is the Fu Xingjue a legitimate resource for study of Jingfang? Does it even matter if it was written much later? Join us for a rich conversation and feel free to chime in with your own comments below.
